Black Steelies?

Hi,

Since I cant afford the rims I want now I gotta save up.
I saw the same car as mine a 4G4D with the painted black steels.
It looked pretty good, kinda gives it a sleeper look.
Well anyways I think im gonna do that.
What kinda paint should I use that wont come off?
Also, anyone got any pics on some 4th gens with the black steels?
Thanks

mine came with black steelies stock... too bad you must've gotten the shitter model that didnt even come with hubcaps.. so you have the silver steelies.

actually, i think the silver steelies slammed look is pimpin.

Nah I got the 90' LX model sedan.
It came with the hubcaps but i took them off.
I really dont like the silver because my car is white.
But black wheels with a white car looks good.
Thanks

krylon semi-flat black

flat doesnt look good, gloss looks gay
i painted mine and my friends prelude rims and it sticks fine without primer, just scuff it up
the semi flat makes em look new

Steelies suck either way, they're owning me now after my accident though. :(

As long as the car is lowered it looks fine with any colour steelies, but if its not lowered its gonna look dumb no matter what colour you paint them.

Steelies suck either way steelies are gangsta' mayne

DETAILERS TIP OF THE DAY: apply tire wet to tire and steel rim by whiping it on, steels and tires look new and shiny, looks better than dull steelies

ganstas dont drive no damn hondas

if u put tire wet on the rim its gonna get so much shit stuck to it (dirt)
just paint them

yes it will get dirt stuck to them but if your not a lazy ass and wash your car everyweek or whenever it gets dirty like i do you dont have that problem because it takes awhile for the shine to fade away

even with dirt on there you cant tell unless your a footaway and thats why you whipe it on so theres not alot of it

and gangsta means cool, tite, phat whatever you want to call it

Mine are by no means "gangsta".. They're rusty. They're more like ghetto than gangsta. :p

I'm getting some 88-89 CRX rims next week though so that will get rid of my fugly wheel problem I'm having right now. I miss my C8s. :(

steelies are ghetto !!!! get some rota slipstreams

Slipstreams are bandwagon.
Its okay to rock steelies if you're poor.

Slipstreams are pimp, bandwagon or not, find lighter rims for that price in 16"s, and I'll buy 'em.

ya my steelies are the worst ever. They were silver but for some reason, theres this black shit on them that won't come off so part of them are black and part are silver :sly:

Im not a fan of steelies. There not very good for performance due to them being like only 4.5'' wide and having to run thin tires with high side walls i.e 175 70 13 tires suck but provide a cushy ride or bouncy it you have super stiff suspension and even worse if you have chop springs of blown struts. But if your on a budget I guess you have no choice. Ive been there and had painted my steelies with semi gloss rustoleum. I should have got silver paint instead. I think silver makes it look less like a spare tire. Just make sure you clean the surface your gonna paint maybe take some steel wool to the surface to scuff it a bit for the paint to stick.

I'm running 195/60/14s on my steelies... Just as good as most people run on 15s.. Even on my 16"s my tires were only 205s.
